txt-dayone-import

Assists in merging and formatting .txt files to prepare for importing in DayOne. Built for version 2.6.1.

When is this script useful?

• You have a bunch of .txt files that you would want to import into DayOne
• The .txt files do not have the proper date formatting (specified here), and you would like to add it automatically to all .txt files

Usage

1. Clone the repo with the command git clone git@github.com:micahcarroll/txt-dayone-import.git
2. Place all your .txt files in the txt-dayone-import
3. Run the script using the command sh dayone_format_txt.sh
4. Go to the DayOne dropdown menu: File -> Import and select the file diary_log.txt that was generated by the script in the same folder

Hopefully it should all work smoothly. Feel free to email me for any issues.

Note: the Last Modified Date of the files will be the date associated with each entry in the final log
